SUPPLY TERMS

Terms of asset supply (“Supply Terms”).

Contract

1.        Unless otherwise agreed in advance and in writing by Lifecycle Plus, Supply Terms, a Purchase Offer and GRA(s) for Assets constitute the entire agreement in relation to the Supplier’s supply of those Assets to Lifecycle Plus (“Contract”).

2.       A Contract supersedes all prior understandings, arrangements and agreements between Lifecycle Plus and Supplier in relation to the Assets the subject of the Purchase Order.

Asset supply

3.       Lifecycle Plus is under no obligation to make a Purchase Offer.

4.      Purchase Offers are made subject to the Assets being inspected by Lifecycle Plus (“Inspection Basis”) unless agreed in advance in writing by Lifecycle Plus.

5.       Where a Purchase Offer is made on an Inspection Basis, Lifecycle Plus may at its discretion make deductions from the Purchase Price to account for any defects, faults or damage in condition, functionality or operability of the Assets, or where the Assets described in the Purchase Offer have not been received by Lifecycle Plus or if received are incomplete or missing parts, components or power adaptors (“Deductions”).

6.       Lifecycle Plus may make Deductions by reference to:

a.    Asset details as set out in GRA(s);

b.    a Diminished Value Matrix; or

c.     any other document or methodology as Lifecycle Plus deems reasonable in the circumstances.

7.       For Inspection Basis purchases, where Lifecycle Plus has:

a.    made payment of the Purchase Price prior to inspection, Supplier will on demand pay to Lifecycle Plus the amount of any Deductions; or

b.    not made payment of the Purchase Price prior to inspection, Supplier will issue Lifecycle Plus with a tax invoice for a sum equalling the Purchase Price less the amount of any Deductions.

8.       In the event that Supplier delivers Assets to Lifecycle Plus without notice and Lifecycle Plus decides not make a Purchase Offer, Supplier will at its own cost and expense immediately remove the Assets from Lifecycle Plus or its agents’ premises. Should Supplier fail to immediately remove the Assets and/or Lifecycle Plus agrees that it will return the Assets to Supplier, Supplier will pay Lifecycle Plus on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lifecycle Plus including administration, storage, return or disposal costs and expenses (as the case may be).

GST

9.       Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by Lifecycle Plus, a supply under a Contract is exclusive of GST and Lifecycle Plus or Supplier (as the case may be) must pay to the other the GST Amount at the same time that it pays for the supply to which the GST Amount relates.

Services

10.    Lifecycle Plus may at its determination provide to Supplier services associated with Assets (“Services”). The provision of Services is subject to the provisions of Lifecycle Plus’ Services Terms.  

11.      Lifecycle Plus may elect (regardless of any provision of Lifecycle Plus Services Terms) to deem its fees for Services to be a Deduction.  

Recycling

12.     Lifecycle Plus may deem that an Asset requires recycling (“Recycling”). Recycling is subject to Lifecycle Plus’ Services Terms.

13.     Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by Lifecycle Plus, it will:

a.    make a Deduction amounting to the full Purchase Price of the Recycled Asset; and

b.    deem (regardless of any provision of Lifecycle Plus Services Terms) its fees for Recycling to be a Deduction.

Title

14.    Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by Lifecycle Plus, title in an Asset passes from Supplier to Lifecycle Plus upon Lifecycle Plus providing Supplier with a GRA for that Asset.

15.     Supplier warrants that on that date that title in an Assets passes to Lifecycle Plus, Supplier:

a.    holds title to the Asset free and clear of any Encumbrance or any third party rights whatsoever; and

b.    is capable of passing full, valid and unimpeachable legal and beneficial title in the Assets to Lifecycle Plus,

(“Title Warranty”).

Risk in Assets

16.    Risk in an Asset only passes to Lifecycle Plus upon Lifecycle Plus receiving the Asset at Facility, prior to which event, risk in the Asset remains with the Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, Lifecycle Plus initiating, managing, performing or paying for Transport of an Asset does not cause risk in that Asset to pass to Lifecycle Plus. 

17.     Where risk in an Asset has passed to Lifecycle Plus, it remains with Lifecycle Plus until it leaves Facility.  

18.    Prior to an Asset being received by Lifecycle Plus at Facility, Lifecycle Plus is not liable or responsible for, nor does it assume any liability or responsibility to protect against, Data on or in that Asset being:

a.    misused, interfered with, lost or stolen;

b.    accessed, modified or disclosed; or

c.     otherwise released to a third party,

or the consequences arising from any such event, in any circumstances including during Transport.

19.    The provisions in clauses 16 to 18 apply in all circumstances and are not affected by Lifecycle Plus being engaged by Supplier (or any other person) to erase Data from an Asset.

Data

20.   Supplier warrants to Lifecycle Plus that:

a.    except where Supplier engages Lifecycle Plus by prior written agreement to erase Data, Supplier warrants to Lifecycle Plus that Assets do not hold any Data (“Data Warranty”); and

b.    Supplier maintains a recoverable backup of Data (“Back-Up Warranty”).

21.     Without creating or Lifecycle Plus assuming any obligation to investigate whether:

a.    Assets hold Data; or

b.    Supplier has breached its Data Warranty,

where Lifecycle Plus discovers that Supplier has breached its Data Warranty in relation to any Assets, Lifecycle Plus may:

c.     at its discretion erase or delete that data from the Assets or physically destroy Drives (using any erasure, deletion or destruction methods Lifecycle Plus sees fit to use) without any further reference to Supplier (“Wipe”); and

d.    (without limiting in any way the operation of any of the Indemnities below) elect that:

                                            i.     Supplier pay to Lifecycle Plus on demand; or

                                           ii.     Lifecycle Plus deems as a Deduction,

the costs of any Wipe.

22.   Supplier is deemed to have consented to Lifecycle Plus performing all Wipes (and to have obtained such consent, if necessary, from any applicable third parties).

23.   Without limiting in any way the Indemnities below, under no circumstances will Lifecycle Plus be responsible or liable to Supplier or any third party for:

a.    any loss, deletion or destruction of, or loss of access to Data or Supplier or third party systems; or

b.    a failure or part failure to perform a Wipe or any defect or error in any Wipe,

or for any consequences of any event set out in clause 23(a) or (b) occurring. 

24.   Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by Lifecycle Plus, any engagement of Lifecycle Plus by Supplier to erase Data from Assets is subject to the provisions contained in Lifecycle Plus’ Services Terms. 

25.   In the event that Lifecycle Plus destroys any Drives (during a Wipe or during an erasure engagement under Lifecycle Plus’ Service Terms), Lifecycle Plus:

a.    is not liable or responsible to pay any compensation to Supplier for; and

b.    may deem any consequential reduction in value of the Asset as a Deduction due to,

such destruction.

d.    take all steps necessary to safeguard the confidentiality of Confidential Information.

a.    is or becomes public knowledge without the fault of Supplier or a person to who Supplier has disclosed that Confidential Information;

b.    is or becomes available to Supplier from a source other than Lifecycle Plus, unless such source has disclosed that Confidential Information in breach of obligations of confidentiality it owes to Lifecycle Plus; or

c.     is independently developed by Supplier without reference to or use of Confidential Information.

31.     If Lifecycle Plus becomes aware, or suspects, that:

a.     an Information Breach or a Loss of Data has occurred; or

b.    Supplier has (or ought to have) notified Lifecycle Plus of an Information Breach or Loss of Data in accordance with clause 30,

42.   Supplier has no right or authority to and must not do any act, enter into any contract, make any representation, give any warranty, incur any liability, assume any obligation, whether express or implied, of any kind on behalf of Lifecycle Plus or bind Lifecycle Plus in any way.

47.   Lifecycle Plus excludes to the extent permitted by law all guarantees, terms, conditions, warranties, inducements or representations whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise, which would otherwise be implied into Supply Terms concerning the activities covered by Supply Terms. Supplier agrees that it does not rely on any guarantee, term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation made by or on behalf of Lifecycle Plus which is not expressly stated in Supply Terms. Where any legislation implies or imposes a guarantee, term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation in relation to Supply Terms and Lifecycle Plus is not able to exclude that guarantee, term, condition,  warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation (“Non-Excludable Provision”) and Lifecycle Plus is able to limit the remedy of Supplier for a breach of the Non-Excludable Provision, then Lifecycle Plus’ liability for breach of the Non-Excludable Provision is limited to (at Lifecycle Plus’ election):

b.    in the case of services, the supply of the services again (or payment of the cost of doing so).

Subject to Lifecycle Plus’ obligations under the Non-Excludable Provisions and clauses 48, 49 and 50, Lifecycle Plus’ maximum aggregate liability to Supplier in respect of any one claim or series of connected claims under Supply Terms or in connection with its subject matter, whether arising in or for breach of contract, negligence or other tort, breach of statutory duty, or under an indemnity or otherwise (“Claim”) is limited to an amount equal to the lesser of $100,000 or the amount paid to Lifecycle Plus by Supplier under Supply Terms in the six months preceding the events giving rise to the Claim.

48.  Any liability of Lifecycle Plus for any loss or damage under or in connection with Supply Terms or Contract will be reduced in proportion to the extent that Supplier or its agents caused or contributed to that loss or damage.

49.  Lifecycle Plus will not in any circumstances be liable to Supplier or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage which arises out of the performance or failure to perform any obligation contained within or connected to Supply Terms or Contracts, whether the claim is in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

50.   Supplier must take all reasonable steps to mitigate any costs, expenses, loss, liability or damage it suffers or incurs in relation to or in connection with Supply Terms or a Claim.

51.     In the event of any provision of Supply Terms becoming invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be deemed to be severed from the other provisions of Supply Terms, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of Supply Terms which will remain valid and in force.

52.   A failure, delay, or indulgence by Lifecycle Plus in exercising any power or right conferred on it by Supply Terms does not operate as a waiver of the power or right. A waiver of any right or power of Lifecycle Plus under Supply Terms does not operate as a waiver of any other breach by Supplier.
